The rapid growth of the Museum renders a more definite classification 

 of its employe's and in some instances larger salaries desirable, and it is 

 hoped that this schedule, or one similar in its general features, will be 

 ultimately accepted by Congress. There are, however, so many other 



considerations for which money is i led, as for instance the purchase 



of specimens, that it seems doubtful whether it is wise to bring this 

 matter yet to a final issue.
